Abstract
In the modern literature, various methods of qualitative and quantitative assessment of dentofacial anomalies are described. They are reduced to determining the localization of disorders, describing the causes of their occurrence, considering the functional state of the dentofacial system, as well as to quantifying the degree of violations of facial aesthetics, occlusion, morphology and function in various dentofacial anomalies. The method developed by us for assessing the quality of the results of orthodontic treatment allows us to conduct an expert assessment of the quality of the orthodontic treatment performed on the basis of tables developed and structured according to several blocks. Assessment of the quality of orthodontic treatment consists of three blocks: assessment of the quality of the results of orthodontic treatment, assessment of the process of orthodontic treatment, assessment of the maintenance of medical records. The task of the proposed method for assessing the quality of orthodontic treatment is to improve the quality of diagnosis of dental-facial anomalies and the quality of the results of orthodontic treatment. This paper presents the results of assessing the quality of the clinical component of orthodontic treatment in clinics of various forms of ownership in St. Petersburg. The clinical evaluation of the results of orthodontic treatment consists of an assessment of: the aesthetics of the face, the aesthetics of the smile, the occlusal ratios of the dentition, the articulation ratios of the dentition, the temporomandibular joint, the position of individual teeth and dentition, the integrity of the dentition, the integrity of the teeth, the condition of the periodontium and the timing of orthodontic treatment. The study was conducted in state-funded health care institutions and in private, including network, clinics. According to the results of the study, it can be concluded that the data on assessing the quality of clinical results of orthodontic treatment in clinics of different ownership forms do not have significant differences.
